DS has his heart set on Oxford to study history, so much so he’s taken a gap year for the chance. He’s applied to Balliol.
He went to a bad local comprehensive where he was consistantly top of the class. For his GCSEs he got 7A* and 6As.
At A level he studied History, Geography and English Literature, gaining only AAA. We are immensely proud, but this doesn’t seem Oxford standard reading threads here and on student room.
Shall I prepare him for the big fat no?
